Transporation Magnet Boards

I made these a while back for Cannon's room.

They work perfectly with his "transportation" theme...

I bought 3 wooden framed magnet boards from Roberts, and painted them to match his bedding.

The words are made of wood (which were also purchased at Roberts).

The wooden train, truck and plane were already painted when I bought them, so I just glued everything together and put on some pictures.

Pretty easy...

 It goes along nicely in their room...

"I have a hero" board

A while back I bought some vinyl letters at the Holy Cow Boutique that read

"I have a Hero...

His name is Dad!"

They were fairly cheap so I thought I'd find a use for them.

A few days later I went to Roberts and found a 4x24" board, just waiting to be decorated.

This is what I came up with:

I painted the board dark blue.

Then I dipped a toothbrush in cream paint and splattered the entire thing.

I had some extra magnetic metal scraps from a previous project, so I cut them down to 3.5x5" rectangles.

I centered them on the board, then attached the vinyl letters at the top and bottom.

I took wooden stars (painted them cream with blue splatters), and made them into magnets.

Perfect for holding up two pictures.

I glued 3 extra stars in the middle.

A perfect wall hanging for the boys room!
